Lagos Resident Places N2m Bounty On Alleged Burglar

A burglar has been sought for reportedly stealing a property in Lagos State’s Lagos Island neighborhood.

The suspect was accused of stealing jewelry, gold, and other valuables.

PUNCH According to Metro, the alleged thief was caught on the premises’ Closed Circuit Television camera fleeing with the items.

Leke Adebanjo, a family friend of the victim, said it wasn’t the first time the suspect raided homes in the neighborhood.

He said, “That guy stole very valuable things from the house and we are sad that this happened. We learnt that the same guy had been stealing things around the neighbourhood, but what he did not know was that there’s a CCTV camera in the house.

“He thought that it was just another house he could go to and steal, but this time, he would be nailed because we have his identity and it will not be business as usual.”

He said N2m had been placed on the suspect.

The state police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident, said policemen were on the trail of the suspect.

He said, “The case was reported to us and we will do our duty; the burglar will be caught. After the matter was reported to us, our men have been on the lookout for him and we will get him arrested.”
